SINGAPORE, March 29 (Bloomberg): Restaurants and bars in Singapore are seeing reservations jump after the government announced it would allow larger gatherings and permit alcohol to be sold later in the night from Tuesday.

Within 15 minutes of last week’s news that rules would be eased, Grand Hyatt Singapore’s restaurants started getting calls, said Sebastian Kern, its director of food and beverage. "All the restaurants experienced a surge in bookings for increased seating capacity,” he said.
